    "content": "Whip. I do not find it difficult for us to say let us now go and start thinking as Senators, how we can engage our people in our counties and give the task to governors to raise more revenue so that when the formula is applied, we can have enough own-source revenue for the counties. We continue fighting here because we are poor. If we were all working very hard and paying taxes correctly and timely, we would generate enough resources. I am sure since most of the governors in this country have sat there to enjoy and do not care about how much revenue they waste--- If we compare when we had defunct county councils, more money used to be raised yet the revenue streams that used to apply at that time were not as many as this time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a challenge as a nation and leaders of this country to come up with ways and see how we can generate more revenue. In the generation of more revenue, then there will be enough money to share. We will not continue fighting because of poverty. Let us think out of the box. Let us create wealth so that there is more money to share. I support."
